Bomb squad and police officers have been called out to a house after an unexploded World War Two bomb was found in the back garden.

Dom Lowe and his son Jon were making the most of the sunshine to build a garden fence when they came across the dangerous device.

They had been digging up a disused part of the garden in Pensford when they found a deep hole which they decided to explore.

Jon, 26, who was inside the hall handed his father what appeared to be the tail fin part of a bomb, before finding a separate object which looked to be a full, unexploded incendiary bomb from the Second World War.

Dom, who is in his 50s said: “Jon didn’t know what it was but then I said that looks like part of a bomb to me. He handed it over straight away.

“To be honest there was no panic I just put it on the fence but it rolled off. When it hit the ground I have to admit we did both run for cover,” he said.
